Australian Officials Dispute Bold MH370 Claims

A mechanical engineer in Australia claims to have discovered the wreckage of the infamous lost airliner MH370, but officials in that country are crying foul over his rather bold assertions.

Peter McMahon made headlines over the weekend after declaring that he has found the missing passenger plane by using satellite images from Google Earth.

He went on to tell British newspaper The Sun that he had presented his findings to the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau who allegedly informed McMahon that the spot he saw in the images could be the airliner.

For their part, Australia's NTSB has strongly pushed back against McMahon's story, calling them "spurious claims" which are patently false.
